When Humphrey discovered that the Toddler Room at our school did not do a Birthday Celebration like the Early Childhood classes, she decided to have one at home for Magoo. It kinda makes me laugh, she spent 2 years in the Toddler Class and only after experiencing her own Birthday Celebration did she realize that was her first one at school.
When I walked into the living room the other day Humphrey and Magoo were each in a chair along with 2 naked baby dolls talking about Magoo's life.
I mentioned that I have a copy of On the Day You Were Born and Humphrey immediately requested we read it to Magoo.
A little while later Magoo helped make her birthday cupcakes, she loved pouring the ingredients and mixing them together.
The big day finally arrived and we began the day with balloons and cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Our first of many renditions of Happy Birthday occurred at this time.
After a morning at school, a long nap, and Papa's softball game in the evening we made it to unwrapping the present. She unwraps just like her older sister...all bits of paper off the box before opening the box.
She got a tiny wiffle ball bat (lightweight) a regular mitt & ball so she can play with Humphrey, and a bike helmet.
Overall a successful day.

Cinco de Mayo
Today was the big day...Humphrey had her first Montessori birthday celebration. She was thrilled to have mama & papa both there to witness her walk with the earth around the sun. After her walk around the sun four times; she made a wish, blew out the candle (sun), we listened to On The Day You Were Born, by Debra Fraiser and and the class sang "Happy Birthday" by Tom Chapin. She then gifted the class with the book Elmer, a book we picked out yesterday--we sat through that reading and class time was over.
Other fun things we did today...
- Blueberry muffins with candles at breakfast
- Birthday Balloons
- Papa came home for lunch--panini's were the lunch of choice for this birthday girl
- Super-yummy delicious Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake
- Nap time in a super-duper present -- sleeping bag
| My 1st sleeping bag...I'm so excited! |
